Brian Flemming’s War on Easter

Brian Flemming, the author of the documentary
The God Who Wasn’t There,
has a new thing going: a
War on Easter.

I bet Bill O’Reilly and John Gibson are already wetting their pants in delight.

The
press release
explains the MO: undercover operatives (no doubt endowed with super-secret atheist Ninja powers of concealment; either that, or they have a suit and can blend into a crowd) will hide DVDs of The God Who Wasn’t There in churches, where they’re likely to be found by congregants and Easter egg hunters.

A bit like Chick tracts with much better production values. There’s also an
FAQ.

War on Everything

Remember the “War on Christmas” that John Gibson and Bill O’Reilly wag-the-dogged up out of nothing, using a mixture of three parts persecution complex, two parts paranoia, and one part batshit insanity?

And have you noticed the
War on Easter
that they’re now brewing up out of that same cauldron?
(In case you missed it, it was
started last year
by Sean Hannity.)

Clearly, this is a movement, in the “come in, sing a verse from Alice’s Restaurant, and walk out” sense of the term. So I hope you’ll all join me in declaring war on
Shrove Tuesday.
Write angry letters to politicians and media people! Boycott retailers! Death to the… um… shroves, I guess. Or something.
